Hi Gary,

I believe this to be the best edger ever made as far as dependability. We refurbish these edgers and it is our number one selling machine. The manual says it can cut a 23 minimum B dimension, but we true down the chucks to allow an 18-19 "B". If you want a machine to cut a 14 B you must go with a brand new ME-1000 or another brand new machine.
As Lenny suggested "get a warrantee" He is absolutely correct. You must have a warrantee and a service contract. When you need a repair, you are at the mercy of an independent service person and repairs can be costly. We never sell a machine without a warrantee,service, installation and training. Another important thing about buying a used edger is shipping. I have seen shipping companys destroy edgers. Be sure the seller properly locks it down, and packs it in a foamed box. It must be shipped on a pallet and insured. Do not use UPS, DHL, FED EX, ETC...ETC...
You must use a good freight company for shipping.
This is my area of expertise, you can call me anytime for more information and check out our ebay store for current pricing.
Thank You,
Leo

Take the wheels off every 2-3yrs so they don't get frozen on the axle.

You'll love it. I have a 9000, too, that I also enjoy
